1. Awesome, thanks.

Why is Monsanto receiving MP Humvees?

3. That is the extremely good question.

There are world-wide actions planned against Monsanto for this week; this action is a surprise, not advertised, so they may all be planning ahead and were caught in the act.

4. Article: Occupy Monsanto blockades Seminis seed distribution facility, shuts it down

http://dgrnewsservice.org/2012/09/12/occupy-monsanto-blockades-seminis-seed-distribution-facility-shuts-it-down/

On Wednesday, September 12 the Genetic Crimes Unit (GCU) shut down shipping and receiving access points at Seminis’s Oxnard seed distribution facility which is a subsidiary of Monsanto and located at 2700 Camino Del Sol. By peacefully blockading the exit and access points the group effectively shut down the distribution of genetically engineered (GMO) seeds for a day.

Monsanto is the largest producer of GMO seeds and is being called out for their genetic crimes by a network called Occupy Monsanto. Today’s protest is the beginning of a series of over 65 different autonomous actions that officially start on September 17, a year since Occupy Wall Street movement began. Actions are planned throughout the world including the US, Germany, Canada, India, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Argentina, Australia, Russia, and Japan. More info as well as video available for media use of today action can be found at http://Occupy-Monsanto.com
